18-year-old Andrew Nichol of Winnipeg, Manitoba posted the fastest time on the difficult 10 mile course, beating many top local riders to come in first in the Pro 1/2 men's category at this season opening event. This talented first year senior rider, who won a silver medal as a junior in the 2006 National Time Trial Championships, promises to be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming year.

The team looks forward to repeating this success at the upcoming Valley of the Sun Stage Race, taking place February 16-18 in Phoenix, Arizona.
